How To Cure Itching Problem In The Groin And Sides Of Testicles?
i have itching problem in the groin and sides of testicles when i use some ointment like quadriderm it gives me relief for a few days but after some day it happens again i.e. the problem persist .i want a permanent cure so please suggest me some sort of treatment.and i do have a habit of daily bath and wearing of clean clothes(as i assumed that may be it was a cause of these itching)
The medication quadiderm contains betamethasone which is a corticosteroid and gentamycin an antibiotic. This works well for bacterial infections. Since you complain of itching in testis and groin, a fungal infection might also be considered. This usually happens due to round worm infection. It affects areas like groin and testis because of sweat formation. Even if you take bath daily, it can still happen if you do not wipe your genital areas completely dry with towel or wear tight inner clothes.
Treatment for fungal infection of groin includes applying ointment containing antifungal medications like miconazole of clotrimazole in cream form. Please wear loose cotton inner clothes. Avoid itching the groin unnecessarily. Trim your pubic hairs and wash your genital organs twice a day with warm water and wipe it dry before applying antifungal ointments. This ointment must be applied regularly for a month for desired effects.
